Lita alreadyhas five goals to his name and with Jamie Cureton preparing to turn outfor Barnsley for the next three months after sealing a temporary switchto Oakwell on Thursday, Roeder wants Lita to remain a part of his squadfor as long as possible.“I don''t see why, if things are goingokay at Reading and assuming Leroy wants to carry on playing first teamfootball, that Reading don''t leave him here for the third month, andthat would be an ideal scenario for everybody,” said the Canaries boss.“Iknow Reading''s greatest concern is in January, when his contract runsout at the end of the year, that they try and capitalise on gettingsomething for him rather than allowing him to leave on, basically, aBosman next year.”Lita is currently due to return to theMadejski Stadium after next Sunday''s East Anglian derby with IpswichTown at Carrow Road, although he can be recalled by Reading with just24 hours notice at any time.A third month would take his timeat Norwich through to the New Year - the maximum length of time for anyemergency loan - at which point the transfer window reopens and Readingwill be hoping Lita''s performances have encouraged someone to bid forthe 23-year-old goalscorer. And Roeder refused to rule out being that someone, despite City''s well publicised tight purse strings.“Younever know,” added Roeder. “He''s certainly done well enough to be inthat equation but it''s not something we''re talking about or need totalk about today.”As for Lita, he would be happy to spend athird month at Norwich but is not feeling any pressure to think longand hard about his future beyond Reading.“Yeah, why not; I''mplaying and enjoying it down here so I''ve got no problem with that,”said Lita to a third month. “I''ve not spoken about it, so I''m justlooking forward to the game in Sheffield. I think I''ve got another twoweeks left so we''ll see then.”But for being in the shop window, Lita added: “I''m not worried about that at all. I''m just concentrating on playing. “I get asked that question all the time. I''m a young lad so there''s plenty of football to be played yet.”The piece highlighted in bold is very interesting..... how the heck could we afford him?

lucky green trainers 0 Posted November 29, 2008 yep, looks like poor ole leezer put his clock in the frame for a jan move by popping em in for NCFC, only to find there''s nothing doing in the tranny market - the credit crunch has frozen big money moves i guess,,,so instead of £25k over 4 years, it could be £12k over 3...i bet his agent has advised him to wait until seasons end when economic conditions might be more stable, so maybe leezer will be available for us until then...as long as he can keep keen, then great imo - but naturally, the boy must be right p**sed off with how its working out,,,mind you - not as P**sed as the poor punters having to postpone their retirements - cos their personal private pension values have plummetted cos of stock market falls...why isn''t anyone asking - ''wheres the £5 trillion quid gone???'' these losses are gains for others??? unregulated, untaxed, offshored???
